But until we have verifiable numbers it's all moot.
I think you'll find that a reasonable proportion use the emacs and vi modes as well, and moreover, you'll still have to deal with the historical changelog records. Plus, anyone who actually wants this feature can easily alias dch='TZ=UTC dch'; or whatever their shell's equivalent is. Regardless, since the timezone is represented numerically, it's not like you can't do the addition or subtraction to UTC programmatically or mentally relatively trivially.
